01:02Three points to the spot.
01:05Three, one, Harps.
01:07Harps have been loading in.
01:08I've got eight points clear at the summit of the Premiership.
01:13Good evening, Harps got the better of Celtic back in October at Tyne Castle.
01:19How would this top-of-the-table clash go?
01:22This time at Celtic Park, Jackie McNamara and Neil McCann with us tonight.
01:27A huge match for Derek McInnes and new Celtic boss Wilfred Nonsi.
01:31It's going to be the first time in this club.
01:37I came yesterday, I felt the energy with the stadium.
01:40So I'm really excited to start the game.
01:42We are ready for that and I hope that it's going to be a good game.
01:46When you come to Celtic Park, ordinarily, it gives you the stiffest test.
01:51So it would be a huge shot on the arm for every day for us, from Harps, to win the game of
01:56day against the toughest opponent.
01:57Quite the curtain-raiser for Wilfred Nonsi.
02:03Top-of-the-table clash against this season's trailblazers.
02:07It's the champions who come into this one in better form, though, with Martin O'Neill having
02:11worked his magic just as Harps faltered for the first time.
02:15It's all set up for a fascinating encounter.
02:20The Frenchman takes his bow.
02:22In front of his new supporters.
02:30An exciting new era.
02:34At Celtic Park.
02:36A lot to live up to, though.
02:40Wilfred Nonsi's first Celtic XI looks like this.
02:44A change of shape and three changes of personnel as Kieran Tierney, Sebastian Tenecti
02:49and Benji Neugren come in for Donovan.
02:52The injured Sirachi and McCowan.
02:54No wins in four for Harps and they make four changes as Halkett, Steinbender,
02:59McEntee and Braga replace Borgrevinck, Kent, Forrest and Kabori as they try to retain top spot.
03:08Don Robertson in charge of this battle of the top two.
03:13Gets us under way.
03:18That 3-1 win for Hearts at Tynecastle was certainly something of a gauntlet being laid down.
03:24Celtic have responded well, unbeaten in the league since.
03:30Michael waiting for the right option.
03:33Fires a lovely ball out to Kieran Tierney.
03:36A good take as well.
03:38And a good ball forward for Maida Spolov, who's in two minds.
03:42But Maida couldn't really test him.
03:50Aimless again from Hearts, who's use of the ball has been pretty poor so far.
03:56There's McGregor, he's looking to lift one over the top here for Tunechtes, a good touch.
04:01And now it's Maida, big chance!
04:04And he's screwed it wide.
04:06Two really good opportunities in quick succession for Maida.
04:10And he could take neither of them.
04:13This is the first chance for Dyson Maida.
04:16It's a brilliant run, good pick out, looks like he's just onside.
04:20This fall off as he backed off, was able to gather comfortably.
04:24And this time Tunechtes doing really well.
04:27Laid it into the path of Maida.
04:29And he's really got to score.
04:42Finlay for Milne.
04:44It's a neat one too, Harry Milne now.
04:46Flashes it into the penalty area, Tierney turns it behind.
04:51Better from Hearts.
04:53Shapland lurking in behind Tierney there.
04:57An important clearance.
05:05Yang squeezes that through for Hattati, an opening here now for Celtic.
05:10Nugroen.
05:11Knocked away by Steinbender.
05:13And Arne Engels slashes high and wide.
05:20That was inviting for Engels.
05:32A lot of loose passes in the game from both sides.
05:37Conditions perhaps not helping.
05:39He's Ariris.
05:46Can't get a better layer of Engels.
05:54Shankland takes charge here.
05:57Scales cuts out the cutback.
05:59And Braga smiles offside, surely as Harry Milne takes a swipe at it.
06:05Still alive.
06:06Braga scores.
06:08And celebrates.
06:13They look well offside.
06:16Schmeichel claims there should have been a flag.
06:20But Hearts for now.
06:21I believe they have got the opening goal.
06:27Let's have another look.
06:31Well, Engels coming back.
06:33No, Braga's onside there.
06:36So that's fine.
06:37And that looks fine as well.
06:45And so, out of almost nothing, Claudio Braga fires Hearts in front just before the interval.
06:56Claudio Braga has a tenth goal of the season.
06:59Wilfried Nancy, she's his side, fall behind.
07:21Steinwender clips it up, looking for Shankland.
07:24Almost turning away from Scales and Trusty.
07:26Now it comes to Braga.
07:28Shankland, can he get it squeezed through there to Kizaridis?
07:33Well, no further time.
07:37As Claudio Braga, his strike has put Hearts in front at the break.
07:43Looked initially like he would be called offside, but the rerun showed that Engels was playing him on.
07:51And so Hearts have the edge going in at the interval in the battle of the top two.
07:58It's Celtic nil, Hearts won.
08:04Now to Yang.
08:10No way through, McGregor will fancy this one.
08:14Comfortable tee for Spolov.
08:16It's good from Hearts, Shankland.
08:35Won't quite come for Magnussen, as Braga tried to leave it for him.
08:38It's well won by Kizaridis, Shankland now stands it up to the back post.
08:48And that was a chance for Magnussen, didn't get the purchase on the header.
08:54It was well picked out by Shankland.
09:02Trusty giving it away.
09:03Shaqland with his usual good vision.
09:08Skills might just have got something on that before it came to Magnussen.
09:13A little insight into tactical thinking of the new Celtic manager.
09:18Magnussen.
09:31Magnussen.
09:32Back to Kizaridis, Shankland makes the run.
09:34He's gone offside.
09:36He'll go for a goal anyway, and turned behind.
09:38And he's definitely onside there, Lawrence Shankland.
09:54Good stop from Schmeichel.
09:56There's going to be a corner.
09:58Flag didn't come.
10:01There'll be a bit of controversy about this.
10:04If it ends up in the back of the net.
10:06It's Milne's corner.
10:11The goal from Ocean McIntyre.
10:15What a header that is.
10:18The Celtic will fume that the offside wasn't given in the build-up to the corner.
10:24But take nothing away from that header from Ocean McIntyre.
10:27Brilliant delivery from Milne.
10:32And a thumping header.
10:35From Ocean McIntyre.
10:37To put aside two goals in front.
10:41Just manages to find so much space.
10:44And Schmeichel couldn't get there.
10:45Brilliantly directed header from McIntyre for his second Harps goal.
10:53And Harps have given themselves a huge chance now of claiming all three points.
11:01Run by Magnussen.
11:02Yang's clearance falls for Hattati.
11:05Who helps it on to Engels.
11:11McGregor scoops it forward for Engels.
11:15Promising here for Celtic as McIntyre picks up.
11:18Looking to take on Milne and get the shot off.
11:21Another good take from Shvolov.
11:26Expect him to gather it, but in this surface.
11:30Just have to be sure.
11:39Overcome Celtic through Yang.
11:43That's inside Steinbender.
11:44And tries to chop back the other way.
11:47Hattati, will he take the shot on?
11:49No, he goes for McIntyre instead.
11:51And off target from McIntyre.
11:54Look at Hattati.
11:56Could have taken the shot on.
11:59McIntyre when he did.
12:03Well over the top from him.
12:12Braga putting trusty under pressure.
12:15And Shanklin picks up on the loose ball.
12:17And Harry Milne will latch on to this.
12:19He's got time to pick out Braga.
12:22Who completely misses his kick.
12:23But he'll come back for Devlin.
12:26Kizariris now.
12:27Through for Shanklin.
12:28Back to Kizariris.
12:30Opportunity here.
12:31Just wide.
12:33Now that could have sealed it.
12:35Good link up again between Shanklin and Kizariris.
12:38He just drags the shot.
12:39McGregor for McIntyre.
12:43McGregor for McIntyre.
12:44And into Engels.
12:46Back for McGregor.
12:47Celtic need a goal and fast.
12:51Yang.
12:51Good ball for Tierney.
12:53He's Devlin there.
12:56First two.
12:56Comes to Yang though.
12:58And well off target.
13:01And Celtic's final product.
13:03Once again.
13:05Not up to scratch.
13:06It's a really good opportunity this.
13:08Tierney couldn't pick out Hattati or Engels.
13:11And then Yang's final effort.
13:13Real wide.
13:24McKimmy.
13:25Into Kenny.
13:28And back to Scales.
13:31Cut out there by McIntyre.
13:33Sweat back into good ball.
13:35Some save from Shvolov.
13:37And the rebound.
13:38Hattati cracks the bar.
13:40Still the danger not over.
13:41It's McIntyre.
13:43And he screws the shot wide.
13:45But that is a top save from Alexander Shvolov.
13:49To preserve.
13:50That's two goal advantage.
13:52Terrific ball in.
13:54And Celtic must have thought
13:55the deficit was going to be reduced there.
13:59Somehow.
14:01Shvolov was able to react to Engels' header.
14:06And Hattati very unfortunate on the rebound.
14:08Cameron McGregor.
14:15Yang for Scales.
14:21Running away from Celtic here.
14:24It's Hattati.
14:25Tierney.
14:29Into the area comes.
14:32Hatt's claim for a free kick's not going to come.
14:35McIntyre now.
14:36Back into the danger area.
14:40It's Tierney.
14:41He's got one back.
14:43And is there time
14:47for an equaliser?
14:49We've got 90 seconds of injury time
14:51left to play
14:53as Kieran Tierney smashes in.
14:57And at last,
14:57Hatt's resistance is broken.
14:59Really good finish from Tierney.
15:02Hatt's could not quite keep the clean sheet.
15:04And they will
15:06dearly hope
15:07they can hold on now
15:08for the three points.
15:17Jiang once more
15:18helped on.
15:24There's a full-time whistle.
15:26Hatt's see it out
15:26for a huge victory
15:29at Celtic Park
15:30backing up
15:31the win at Titancastle
15:32earlier in the season.

15:36in the end.

18:33bangs it in
18:34the bottom
18:34corner
18:35and then of
18:36course
18:36VR have a
18:37look at it
18:37proved it's
18:38onside
18:38and Hearts
18:39got a
18:39brilliant
18:40bit of
18:41advantage
18:42play
18:42but the
18:44new rules
18:44I mean
18:44obviously
18:45back in the
18:46day that
18:47might have
18:47been whistled
18:48and given
18:49offside
18:49early
18:50but the
18:50fact is
18:51they let
18:51the play
18:51play
18:52let it
18:53develop
18:53check it
18:54later on

18:55have got
18:56some reward
18:56there
18:56brilliant
18:57finish as
18:57well
18:57because
18:58he switched
18:58on instantly
18:59he was off
19:00it and then
19:00just switches
19:01back on
19:01and bangs
19:02it away
19:03he's been
19:03such a huge
19:04player for Hearts
19:04this season
19:05Jackie
19:06in terms of
19:06Hearts
19:07second goal
19:08is this
19:09the best
19:10header
19:10of the
19:11season
19:11I think
19:13it's a
19:13fantastic
19:13header
19:14he does
19:15well to
19:15lose his
19:16marker
19:16I think
19:16it's
19:17supposed to
19:19be marking
19:19him
19:20we actually
19:21thought he
19:21was offside
19:21as well
19:22that first
19:22bit
19:22he proved
19:23that he
19:24was onside
19:24Shanklin
19:24there
19:25just
19:26onside
19:27that leads
19:28to the
19:29corner
19:29but defensively
19:31from Celtic's
19:32point of view
19:32is actually
19:33disappointing
19:34but it's a
19:34fantastic
19:35header
19:35the ball
19:36is coming
19:36away from

19:42he just
19:42kind of
19:42lets it

21:16and
21:17we
21:17look
21:17forward
21:17to
21:17every
21:18point
21:19is
21:19precious
21:19in the
21:19Premier League
21:20if you're
21:20going to
21:20compete
21:21poor Derek
21:22McInnes he's
21:23going to have to
21:23continue to get
21:24used to people
21:25like me
21:25talking about
21:25them as
21:26title contenders
21:26Neil
21:27tactically
21:28what did he
21:30get right
21:30really good
21:31Tynecastle
21:32I think
21:32Derek
21:33probably surprised
21:34a lot of
21:34people by
21:34being aggressive
21:35and went
21:36after Celtic
21:36got a
21:37brilliant
21:37result
21:37here
21:38not so
21:38much
21:38big
21:39pitch
21:39you're
21:39expecting
21:40you're
21:40going to
21:40have to
21:40go against
21:43things
21:43and deal
21:43with a lot
21:44of pressure
21:44and possession
21:46against you
21:46but they did
21:47it well
21:47Jonathan and
21:48Tyne's
21:48but so
21:49often
21:49more often
21:51than not
21:51people try to
21:52stop
21:52McGregor
21:52from playing
21:53but today
21:54O'Shea
21:55and McAtee
21:56had to
21:56completely
21:57sacrifice
21:58any
21:58forward
21:59momentum
22:00or any
22:00forward
22:01thoughts
22:01by just
22:01doing a
22:02job
22:02in
22:02Hattati
22:03I think
22:03Rio Hattati
22:04has been
22:04reinvigorated
22:06under
22:06Neil
22:07and it
22:07was a
22:08clear
22:08indication
22:08look at
22:09McAtee
22:09he just
22:10bolted on
22:11virtually the
22:12whole game
22:12and it nullified
22:13him because
22:14he's one player
22:15Hattati who
22:15played slightly
22:16further up
22:16today that
22:17breaks lines
22:18and he was
22:19so subdued
22:20and that was
22:20down to
22:21McAtee
22:21just having
22:22so much
22:22discipline
22:22to sit in
22:24there and make
22:24sure he's going
22:25to cover runs
22:25not be interested
22:26in joining the
22:27play
22:27set pieces
22:29of course
22:29have already
22:30seen his
22:30goal
22:30but there
22:31was different
22:32elements of
22:33Harps today
22:33in terms of
22:34when they
22:34went aggressive
22:35when they
22:36didn't
22:36but McAtee's
22:37discipline was
22:38key for me
22:39Braga sat
22:40off
22:40they allowed
22:41the back
22:42three of
22:42Celtic
22:43trusty in
22:43particular to
22:44have the
22:44ball because
22:45they thought
22:45right we'll
22:46surrender a
22:47left footed
22:47player playing
22:48on the right
22:49side of a
22:49three when
22:50not having
22:51real good
22:51quality
22:52and as
22:52you see
22:53this last
22:55clip look
22:55how deep
22:56Hattati
22:56who's one
22:57of the key
22:58players for
22:58Celtic to
22:59break lines
22:59and make
23:00things happen
23:00having to
23:01come to
23:02try and
23:02get onto
23:02the ball
23:03you want
23:04him there
23:04all day
23:05long so
23:05McAtee gets
23:06a great
23:07goal and
23:07McAtee gets
23:08a great
23:08goal today
23:09but his
23:09all-round
23:10performance
23:11sacrificial
23:12was so
23:13crucial to
23:13the team
23:14I lied
23:14the fact
23:15they had
23:15little
23:15Terry
23:15or Devlin
23:16and he
23:16must just
23:16get plugged
23:17in at
23:17night
23:17the wee
23:18man
23:18because he
23:19just didn't
23:19stop
23:19Magnus
23:20in there
23:21I thought
23:21all-round
23:21tactically
23:22brilliant
23:22yeah
23:23Hartsware
23:24great today
23:25in terms
23:25of quality
23:26but also
23:27character
23:27and belief
23:28and steadfast
23:29at the back
23:30for the majority
23:31of this match
23:31Jack
23:32yeah they're
23:32well organised
23:33and Derek's
23:34teams are always
23:35that's one thing
23:35about them
23:36they're always
23:36well organised
23:37as Neil said
23:38Hattati played
23:39a slightly
23:39different role
23:40I thought
23:41at times
23:41he looked a bit
23:42frustrated in it
23:43maybe he's up
23:44too far
23:45too quickly
23:46in the space
23:48that he normally
23:48goes into
23:49that wasn't there
23:50for him
23:50there's credit
23:51to Harts
23:51but I did
23:52think Celtic
23:53started the
23:53game very
23:54well
23:54Harts
23:55in terms
23:56of possession
23:57didn't keep
23:57possession
23:58first 20
23:59minutes
23:59but then
24:00they grew
24:01into the
24:01game
24:01they get
24:02the goal
24:02at the
24:02right
24:02time
24:03their spaces
24:04Jackie
24:04when they're
24:05dealing with
24:05crosses
24:05was brilliant
24:07as well
24:07defending
24:08the 6 yard
24:09box area
24:10with that
24:10back forward
24:11good security
24:12in front of
24:12it
24:12that's
24:13something
24:13I'm sure
24:14you can
24:14appreciate
24:14in terms
24:15of the
24:15defending
24:15side
24:16of the game
24:16absolutely
24:16that's
24:17their strength
24:18Halcott and
24:19Fernley are
24:20fantastic in
24:20the air
24:21you're actually
24:22saying let them
24:23cross it in
24:24because we'll deal
24:24with it
24:24and Celtic need to
24:26find other ways
24:27to try and break
24:28them
24:28break down
24:28so much to
24:30admire from a
24:30heart's point of
24:31view this
24:32afternoon
24:32let's hear now
24:33from the new
24:34Celtic manager
24:34Wilfried Nancy
24:35we conceded the
24:38goal but to be
24:39honest I felt
24:40that it didn't
24:42change the
24:42attitude of the
24:43players
24:43after that when
24:45we came back
24:46second half
24:46we pushed a
24:48little bit more
24:48but we conceded
24:49the second goal
24:50and after that
24:51when we conceded
24:52the second goal
24:52we started to
24:54rush and we
24:55put a lot of
24:55cross inside the
24:57box knowing that
24:58they are so big
24:58so I think that
24:59we could have been
25:00a little bit better
25:01you know to combine
25:02and to attack the
25:03box in a different
25:03way but again
25:05the spirit was
25:05prolonged
25:06my players did
25:07really really good
25:07and I have many
25:08many good things
25:09that I can show
25:10them and we
25:11need obviously
25:11yes to adjust
25:12on certain things
25:13but I was pleased
25:14with the mentality
25:15we had really
25:18good moments
25:19and we had
25:19moments obviously
25:20that yes
25:21we need to
25:22improve
25:22for me this
25:23is more about
25:24to check
25:26if we were
25:27we played
25:28with personality
25:29to check
25:30what we can
25:30do better
25:31to unbalance
25:31a low block
25:32what can we
25:33do better
25:33to avoid
25:34these two
25:35goals that
25:35we conceded
25:36but again
25:36I think that
25:37the spirit
25:38was really
25:39good
25:39and I have
25:41nothing to say
25:42regarding the
25:42players
25:42because they
25:43want it to
25:44do well
25:44and this is
25:45for me
25:45the most
25:45important
25:46he does
25:47follow in
25:47the rich
25:48tradition
25:48of Celtic
25:49managers
25:49who've had
25:50a fairly
25:50poor
25:51debut
25:52including
25:52Gordon
25:53Strachan
25:53Brendan
25:54Rodgers
25:54against
25:54Gibraltar
25:55Redimps
25:56Ange
25:56Postacoglu
25:57lost his
25:57first domestic
25:58match
25:58against
25:59Hearts
25:59that was
26:00at
26:00Tynecastle
26:01this is not
26:02about the
26:02system
26:03Wilfrin
26:03Nancy
26:04said
26:05we talked
26:06about a lot
26:06Jackie
26:07would he go
26:08to this
26:083-4-2-1
26:09changing obviously
26:11the Celtic
26:12formation
26:12which we've
26:13seen for a
26:13long time
26:13including under
26:14Martin O'Neill
26:15your analysis
26:17was it the
26:17right decision
26:18again he's
26:21not focusing
26:22on it
26:22but the fact
26:23he's having
26:24to explain
26:24it a few
26:24times
26:25to see what
26:26he's wanting
26:26they want more
26:27players forward
26:28earlier
26:29it looks like
26:30that
26:30for what you
26:31can make of
26:32that
26:32but
26:32you know
26:34I just felt
26:35their system
26:35there
26:36they've been
26:37going well
26:37with the
26:373 up front
26:39and he's
26:39pushed them
26:40further back
26:40into wing backs
26:41but I don't
26:41think they
26:42had the width
26:42today
26:43as they've
26:44had in
26:44previous games
26:46under Martin
26:46he's changed
26:48not just the
26:49actual system
26:49he's changed
26:50personnel as well
26:51Yang
26:51obviously
26:52he comes in
26:53to Nekke
26:54on the other
26:54side
26:55you see how
26:56narrow they are
26:56there's no real
26:57width
26:57from that
26:59when you look
26:59at the Dundee
26:59game
27:00the width
27:00there
27:00and over
27:01with the
27:02full backs
27:02getting forward
27:03as well
27:03so there was
27:04a lot of
27:05change
27:05sometimes a new
27:07manager comes in
27:08you're looking for
27:08just to keep
27:09everything simple
27:10keep it going
27:11and that's what
27:11Martin's done
27:12when he come
27:13into the job
27:13and he won
27:147 out of 8
27:15he's come in
27:16today
27:16a big massive
27:17week coming up
27:18you know
27:18and to change
27:19the system
27:20so quickly
27:20and having to
27:21explain
27:21you don't have
27:22time to work
27:23on it either
27:23you've got a
27:24massive game
27:24on Thursday
27:25then you've got
27:26a cup file
27:26on Sunday
27:27so how to
27:28implement or change
27:29things to players
27:30who don't like
27:31change
27:31as we know
27:32players like
27:34continuity
27:35they like to know
27:35what they're doing
27:36and when you start
27:36to put things in
27:38there and confuse
27:39them
27:40because that's
27:41sometimes what it
27:42looked like to do
27:42if he'd won
27:43it wouldn't be a big
27:44deal but I think
27:45the tactics board
27:46will be one of the
27:46abiding images of
27:47this weekend
27:48Neil certainly
27:49managers can come
27:52into jobs and
27:53research as much
27:53as they want
27:54in terms of the
27:54environment of
27:55Scottish football
27:55it's a very
27:57different place
27:57I guess from
27:58the MLS
27:59what did you make
28:00of Nancy's
28:00comments
28:01I think it is
28:03about the tactics
28:04today
28:04I think the players
28:05were spooked
28:05I lied to the fact
28:07that Hearts were
28:07very good
28:07very structured
28:08very disciplined
28:09but I think
28:11as Jackie's
28:12pointed out
28:13if you're going
28:13to change
28:14so radically
28:15and it was a
28:16radical change
28:16going to a three
28:17you're playing
28:17with three left
28:18sided centre
28:19backs
28:19playing across
28:20that back three
28:21if you're going
28:22to be aggressive
28:22and it was
28:23aggressive
28:23we know
28:24in Columbus
28:25Crew
28:25he likes to
28:26play with
28:26five forward
28:27players
28:27if you're
28:28going to
28:28make your
28:28two wing
28:29backs
28:29with two
28:29right backs
28:30sitting on
28:30the bench
28:30two forward
28:31players
28:32then you need
28:32to get the
28:33ball to them
28:33because you're
28:34effectively
28:34playing with
28:35two wingers
28:35and what was
28:36happening
28:36we saw Jackie
28:37as well
28:37Ney Green was
28:38getting into
28:38wide areas
28:39Hatati was
28:40going out
28:40so they were
28:41flooding that
28:42area
28:42they weren't
28:42leaving them
28:42isolated
28:43so there's
28:44a lot of
28:44work needing
28:45to be done
28:45he's not
28:47going to get
28:47a lot of
28:48training pitch
28:48time
28:48so it's
28:49going to be
28:49a lot of
28:50studio stuff
28:51working on
28:52analytics
28:53in terms of
28:53boards and
28:54computers
28:54and projections
28:55but they need
28:56to get it
28:57right because
28:57they've got a
28:57cup final coming
28:58up outside
28:59the European
28:59game
29:00they've got
29:00an old firm
29:01game coming
29:01up as well
29:02there's massive
29:03games coming
29:03up and if
29:04Wilfried
29:04and Nancy
29:05didn't really
29:06understand the
29:08demand of
29:08Celtic Park
29:10he would have
29:10got a little
29:11touch of it
29:11today but
29:12there's a lot
29:13more coming
29:13he just needs
29:14to get in and
29:14start winning
29:15games
29:15I think the
29:16tactics board
29:16had anything to
29:17do with Kieran
29:18Tierney's
29:18consolation at
29:19the end
29:20I think some
29:21people inside
29:21Celtic Park
29:22felt it might
29:23just lead to
29:24an equaliser
29:24in the end
29:25not the case
29:25Jackie
29:26actually I think
29:27I think
29:27I think Tierney
29:27was outstanding
29:28today
29:29he was starting
29:29in the left
29:30centre back
29:31in the three
29:31he got forward
29:32he actually put
29:33a lot of balls
29:33in and he got
29:34forward there
29:35and the fact
29:36he lasted 90
29:36minutes as well
29:37which is a
29:38fantastic thing
29:38for him
29:39he does well
29:40he keeps it
29:41down
29:41he deserved a
29:43goal today
29:43Kieran
29:44he actually put
29:45a fantastic
29:45cross in just
29:46before that
29:47Celtic
29:48eventually hit
29:50the bar
29:51Tati
29:51but
29:52he plays for
29:53Kieran
29:53getting his
29:54goal
29:54but I know
29:54it's a
29:55consolation
29:55but I thought
29:56he deserved
29:57that today
29:57the thing is
29:58we can't judge
29:58him too
29:59he's just in
30:00the door
30:01and of course
30:01he wants to
30:02get his own
30:02way of playing
30:03across
30:03Jonathan
30:04but you can't
30:05jump on him
30:05too quickly
30:06get the guy
30:07a chance
30:07to break
30:07him to bed
30:08in here
30:08huge victory
30:10for Hearts
30:10today
30:11let's take a
30:12look now
30:12at the best
30:13of the Saturday
30:13action
30:14Paul McGinn
30:18Mr.
30:19Steady Eddie
30:20in the middle
30:21of the defence
30:21that's a neat
30:22touch
30:22from Stamatolopoulos
30:24and now
30:25Charles Cook
30:26looking to make
30:27something happen
30:27for the home
30:28team
30:28Kutrumbus
30:29on the overlap
30:30his cutback
30:31it's Maswanisi
30:33and it's Elliot
30:34what
30:35a top quality
30:37finish
30:38Monterwell in front
30:41inside 18 minutes
30:43Kutrumbus
30:46played a big part
30:47in this
30:47what a strike
30:49that is
30:49McGinn
30:51curling one
30:53down the line
30:54for Kutrumbus
30:56who cuts
30:56inside
30:57Ryan Lee
30:59took a couple
31:00of seconds
31:01and then
31:01pointed to the
31:02spot
31:03it's a penalty
31:04opportunity
31:06for Monterwell
31:06to go
31:07two goals
31:08ahead
31:08and Lewis
31:09Smith
31:09hangs his head
31:10and I think
31:11the body
31:12language
31:12from him
31:14tells you
31:15there was
31:16contact
31:16here
31:17Apostolos
31:19Stamatolopoulos
31:20with the chance
31:22to make it
31:232-0
31:24for the home
31:25team
31:25up he steps
31:28and scores
31:29a clinical finish
31:32from the spot
31:33his seventh goal
31:36of the season
31:37only an hour
31:40gone
31:40but maybe
31:41already
31:42no way
31:43back
31:44for
31:44Livingston
31:45Hendry
31:49with the hold up
31:51work
31:51Motherwell on the move
31:53again with Liam Gordon
31:54and Stephen O'Donnell
31:56in for Charles Cook
31:59Slattery
32:00Regan Charles Cook
32:01is in on goal
32:02no flag
32:03and it's
32:05Manny Longolo
32:06who taps in
32:08Motherwell's
32:09third goal
32:10rounding off
32:12a very
32:13satisfactory
32:13afternoon
32:14for the home
32:15team
32:15they will not
32:17be shifted
32:18from third
32:19place
32:19in the
32:20Premiership
32:20and what a
32:21team goal
32:22this is
32:22from one
32:23penalty box
32:24to the other
32:25a well-timed run
32:26from Charles Cook
32:27and he's
32:28instrumental
32:29in setting up
32:30Longolo
32:31Mulligan
32:35trying to play
32:36through Martin
32:37Boyle
32:37oh he goes
32:38down
32:38and that's
32:40a penalty
32:40Matthew McDermott
32:42pointing to the
32:43spot
32:44and the card
32:45he produces
32:46for Philip Lyssa
32:47only yellow
32:47that looked
32:49a glorious
32:49chance for Martin
32:50Boyle
32:51who I'm sure
32:51will dust
32:52himself down
32:53and take
32:53the penalty
32:54it is
32:56Martin
32:56Boyle
32:57from the
32:57spot
32:57straight down
32:59the middle
32:59he absolutely
33:01leathered that
33:02and he gives
33:04Hebs a well-deserved
33:05lead in this
33:06first half
33:07and it's Martin
33:08Boyle
33:09who so often
33:10gives it to
33:11them
33:11Falkert trying to
33:14play away again
33:15Miller
33:15caught on the
33:16ball by Josh
33:17Mulligan
33:17he's been
33:18everywhere in
33:18this first half
33:19tries to shift
33:21it to the right
33:22Bowie
33:22stops it
33:23going to
33:24Cannon
33:24but he picks
33:25out the back
33:26of the net
33:26instead
33:27a beauty
33:29from Bowie
33:30and it doubles
33:33Hibbs advantage
33:34before the break
33:35didn't look like
33:37he had much
33:38back lift on it
33:38but the curl
33:40was so precise
33:42so accurate
33:44and it left
33:46the keeper
33:46with no chance
33:47that's Alfie
33:52Adjeman
33:53who plays it
33:54through to
33:55Ethan Ross
33:55he has a look
33:56for the defenders
33:57has a look
33:57for the offside
33:58flag
33:58and he tucks
33:59it home
34:00and you can see
34:02he's expecting
34:03the flag to come
34:04Adjeman with the
34:07ball through
34:08it's Jack
34:08Iredale
34:09playing Ethan
34:11Ross onside
34:11there
34:12in fact it's
34:14Jamie McGrath
34:14who might be
34:15the last defender
34:15as Ross bears
34:17down on goal
34:18VAR are checking
34:20this and it's
34:20taking them a while
34:21but the decision
34:22is offside
34:24the goal won't
34:24stand
34:25Chris Cadden
34:28over the top
34:29for Josh Campbell
34:30only just on
34:31Kieran Bowie's
34:32in the middle
34:32Kieran Bowie's
34:33on the score sheet
34:34again
34:35and he celebrates
34:37with Campbell
34:38who puts it
34:40on a plate
34:40for him
34:41but it's a
34:43brilliant striker's
34:44goal from
34:45Kieran Bowie
34:45his second
34:47of the afternoon
34:48Hibs's third
34:49and that is
34:51all three points
34:52surely wrapped up
34:52now
34:53carelessly by Hamilton
35:04here's Lazatic
35:06saved by
35:07McCracken
35:08again
35:08it's back
35:08into
35:08central area
35:09and that is
35:11buried by
35:11Oshish
35:12a gift
35:14for
35:14Aberdeen
35:15Oshish celebrates
35:17just a second
35:18Aberdeen goal
35:19laid on a
35:20plate for him
35:21and he wasn't
35:23going to miss
35:23from there
35:24Armstrong
35:27Oshish
35:28it's caught in two
35:30minds I think
35:30there but Aberdeen
35:31have it back
35:32and it's Carlsen
35:32can he find room
35:33for the shot
35:34half charge
35:35down
35:35Oshish
35:36gets number two
35:38and Aberdeen
35:40move themselves
35:41into
35:42a really good
35:43position
35:44again it's
35:45Hamilton involved
35:46this time not
35:47clearing his lines
35:48and it falls
35:49kindly for Oshish
35:51once more
35:51and he tucks
35:53that into
35:53the top
35:54corner
35:54still over half
35:56an hour for
35:57Dundee to
35:58get back
35:59into this
35:59we'll need
36:00to
36:01improve
36:02there's
36:04Congreve
36:04with the
36:04corner
36:05though
36:05near post

36:12from Ryan
36:13Ashley
36:13that's what
36:14they've been
36:15looking for
36:15and then Aberdeen
36:18breached
36:19for the first
36:20time
36:20on the
36:22Steven Presley
36:23side
36:24and we're way
36:25back into

37:39the
37:40buddies
37:40goalkeeper
37:41but the
37:43Tangerines
37:44couldn't have
37:44asked for a
37:45bigger chance
37:45for it to fall
37:47to the man
37:47with six goals
37:48in 18 games
37:49in all competitions
37:50the Dundee
37:52United fans
37:52would have been expecting
37:53that one to end up

39:48Majofsky
39:49pulls the trigger
39:50and belts the ball
39:51past the goalkeeper
39:52well you have to say
39:57Rangers were persistent
39:58Kilmarnock
40:00nine striped
40:02jerseys in the box
40:03and in the end
40:06the goalkeeper
40:07couldn't see the ball
40:08for all the blue
40:09and white jerseys
40:10in and around them
40:11Brown
40:17kept it low
40:18there's the clip

40:44and Bojan
40:44Majofsky
40:45who scored four times
40:47as an Aberdeen player
40:48against Kilmarnock
40:49now it's two
40:51as a Rangers player
40:52Thompson was worried
40:54about the runner
40:55just laid slightly
40:56off Majofsky
40:57who cut inside
40:58and then
40:59wrong footed
41:00the goalkeeper
41:00it's good striking play
41:04by the former Don
41:05Raskat
41:10lovely touch
41:11Rangers looking
41:22for a killer
41:22third goal
41:23and Rangers
41:25get a killer
41:26third goal
41:26and it's the
41:28second of the season
41:29for Mikey Murat
41:30and the substitute
41:32puts the game
41:32beyond Kilmarnock
41:33the lovely little
41:36ball in
41:37allowed it to run
41:38across his body
41:39Rangers
41:40tuck the points
41:41and the hamper
41:42to take all the way
41:43back to Ibrox
41:44that was a pulsating
41:48night at Rugby Park
41:49Rangers with that
41:50emphatic victory
41:51two fantastic strikes
41:52from Bojan
41:53Majofsky
41:54good for his confidence
41:55Neil
41:55Stuart Kettlewell
41:57will get very hot
41:58under the collar
41:59in fact he'll get sent off
42:00in this match
42:01this Jack Butland
42:02challenge
42:03do you think that was
42:03maybe part of
42:05the equation
42:06which led to his
42:07frustrations
42:07which never got
42:08penalised
42:09I think there were
42:10several things
42:11went against Kilmarnock
42:12and his frustrations
42:14just boil over
42:14I think that's a
42:15reckless challenge
42:16by Jack Butland
42:17I think it's probably
42:18yellow card
42:19Tavernier's probably
42:21in there
42:21he tries to win
42:23this with his left foot
42:24and doesn't get there
42:25and it's Bruce Anderson
42:26that gets first
42:27and kicks it off him
42:28I think the term
42:29that he used
42:30they said it was
42:32unnatural football
42:33contact
42:34well I think he's
42:35a very lucky boy
42:36but it was just
42:37an accumulation
42:38of certain things
42:39that go against you
42:39particularly if you're
42:40not getting results
42:41no wins in nine
42:42I think it is
42:43he understands
42:44that they're in a
42:45dogfight right now
42:46because they're
42:46conceding too many
42:47goals and conceding
42:49poor goals as well
42:50and I think it's
42:51just boiled over
42:52I know exactly
42:53what it's like
42:53you know it as well
42:54Jack
42:54look at the scenes
42:56with Stuart Kettlewell
42:57and the fourth official
42:58at the end
42:59and it's written
43:01all over his face
43:01the frustrations
43:02as Neil says
43:03nine matches
43:04without a win
43:05for Kilmanic
43:06and you kind of
43:07see that
43:08you do
43:08and as I said
43:09the little things
43:10you think go against
43:11you and it can be
43:12frustrating there
43:12and it's a good
43:14connection with the
43:14water bottle
43:15but yeah
43:17being there myself
43:18as I said
43:18it can be
43:19really frustrating
43:20at times
43:20and it's easy done
43:22I'm really hoping
43:23that the SFA
43:24have a wee bit
43:25of leniency here
43:26because it's a
43:27high pressure job
43:28he's in a high
43:28pressure situation
43:29Kilmanic don't want
43:31their manager
43:31sitting on the stand
43:32for a few games
43:33they're already
43:33in a difficult position
43:34and they've got
43:34big games coming up
43:35for the teams
43:36that's round about
